Abstract

India and Iran frequently cite the civilisational, cultural and historical ties that have bound the two countries together for more than a millennium. Both nations enjoyed strong bilateral relations following India’s independence, overcoming such hindrances as Cold War politics and Iran’s relationship with Pakistan. Iran and India enjoy friendly and consolidated ties that have led to greater stability in the region. The swiftly changing international surroundings and the associated strategic dimensions have been catalysts in forcing the two countries to reorient their foreign policies towards each other. However, much needs to be done to give economic and political support for a long term strategic direction to the bilateral relationship. This article seeks to capture the emerging orientation of India’s relations with West Asia in general and Iran in particular. The article also examines the political, economic, cultural and security dimensions of the evolving relationship between India and Iran.
